If you're new to Lubbock, Texas, you may not know about Giorgio's pizza. If that's the case, it's been a staple of downtown Lubbock, Texas for over 20 years, well known for great tasting New York style Pizza! How do I know this? My brother-in-law used to be a worker behind the counter.
This is the 'real deal'. For years, I lived and worked in Rhode Island, worked in downtown Boston and loved day-trips to New York all the time, so honestly, I know good pizza. I've been in Texas for twelve years and I can easily count on one hand the number of pizza places that are good in Texas. Well, Giorgio's is one of them. Forget the other pizza places in Lubbock. Sells pizza by the slice with up to three toppings and they don't skimp. Two slices and a soda for $8.75. The inside makes you feel at home and wreaks of great pizza. Wreaks as in classic old pizza decor - cool decor, honestly.

In Lubbock, it is the best I've ever had! The crust is crispy thin with a savory slight hint of a buttery taste, sauce taste like it came straight from Italy, and the cheese is out of this world!! Service was fast, friendly, and exceptional.
I was also super impressed by their main cook who took orders and payment, made the pizzas from start to finish, then brought the orders out in a timely fashion. If I had my own restaurant I would hire that cook in a heartbeat. This is now definitely our place to order pizza and more when I'm in town.

In fact, while writing this blog, I came in to get a slice and really enjoyed talking to the owner and his son for the story. I told them who I was and that I was writing a blog submission about them. They were super friendly, affable, kind, and even offered me a banana (that wasn't for sale) just because they are cool people. Also, at my age, I should never turn down potassium. LOL
I purchased a few slices of pizza and they are large (the slices look like they are cut from a 16 or 18 inch pizza), beautifully thin, with just the right amount of toppings. The sauce is wonderfully flavorful. The slices are perfect for eating off the plate or folding in half! Real New York pizza...in Lubbock! Go figure?!
Bless this business and the family that owns and operates it. They not only look after their customers, but they also try to look out for unhoused people in the neighborhood as well. I support any business that is about providing excellent service and helping people. Giorgio's pizza and the people within truly make this eatery a memorable place. May many blessing come to this family and all their businesses. They are good people who make good food!
